Disorder Reigns in
Residence Life
R.A. Resigns Over Conflict
David P. Perkins
A situation arose on fifth
floor Petro Hall which has the
men of the floor concerned. It
involved the Director of
Student Resident Programs
and a Resident Assistant
(R.A.) from fifth floor. The
situation resulted in an R.A.'s
resignation.
A controversy involving
Mrs. Tammy Crisp, Director of
Student Resident programs as
of January 17, and Mr. Kerry
Hatcher, an R.A. in Petro Hall
resulted in Hatcher's
resignation on Wednesday
morning, January 19. Crisp
said that Hatcher resigned
under no pressure and that it
was his decision. Hatcher
claimed that he was given an
alternative as remaining as an
R.A. or working solely on his
other jobs. He was in his second
year as an R.A. at EMC. He
also was an R.A. at MSU for
one year.
The controversy, according
to Hatcher, centered around
his working at the EMC
basketball games without
permission. The R.A. contract
forbids an R.A. to work a
second job without permission.
Hatcher also works as a high
school basketball official
about four hours a week with
permission from Resident Life.
At the time that Mr. James
Eckenroad, the former
Director of Resident Life,
changed positions, he was not
aware of any problems with
Hatcher. Hatcher said Crisp
discussed the violation with
him during the week of January
10-14, but decided to grant him
permission to continue
working. Hatcher was not the
only R.A. working for the
athletic department without
permission; Mr. Todd Wagner,
who works at the EMC
women's games about two
hours per game, said that he
"did not have permission" to
work either. Some R.A.s work
at other jobs with permission.
In a discussion on Tuesday,
Hatcher claims that Crisp told
him his "attitude was poor" and

every crack in the walls, the
average student will be
bombarded this week with tons
of monotony break-up.
The theme for Homecoming
this year is "Let The Good

President Bruce H.
Carpenter has restructured his
administration using $170,000
in Title III funds from an
education bill that passed
Congress only after the
overriding of President
Reagan's veto. Carpenter says
that he wishes to prepare the
college for the next ten years of
growth.
The restructuring will
eliminate the Office of Director
of Residence Life. Jim
Eckenroad will fill the new
position of Director of
Auxilliary Services, continuing
the changeover of this summer
that put him in charge of the

83-84 Budgeting Procedure Begins
Tracie Blakeslee
It's that time of year again.
Next year's budgets for student
groups are presently being
reviewed by the Senate Ways
and Means Committee.
The ASEMC Student Senate
has the responsibility to dole
out $205,000 between the 18
groups that submitted budget
requests. Sound easy? Not in
the least, because those 18
groups have requested a total
of $270,000-$65,000 too
much. So, somewhere, the
budgets have to be trimmed.
The $205,000 comes from
student activity fees paid at
registration. In order to be
eligible to receive a portion of
these funds, a group has to be
registered with the Dean of
Students and chartered with
Student Senate.
A budget goes through
several reviews before it is laid
before Senate the final time.
The budget is submitted, read
in Senate and referred to the
Ways and Means Committee to
"iron out kinks." They are
considered in the order they are
submitted. This year, the fund
controllers of each budget have
two meetings with the
Committee. The first is a 15
minute preliminary hearing to
present the budget. The
committee then gets together
and makes its preliminary
recommendations. The second
meeting helps the fund
controller of each group to
accept necessary cuts in their
budget. The Committee gets
together again and prepares its
final recommendation, which is
presented to Senate. The Ways
and Means Committee hopes
to have all of their
recommendations completed
by the end of Winter Quarter
because the budgets have to be
finished and passed through
Senate by the fourth week of
Spring Quarter.
Last week started the
preliminary hearings, which
will continue Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week.
ASEMC Business Manager,
Gary Barber, expressed the
opinion that, "senators,
especially, should attend the
meetings because, how are they
going to be qualified to make
judgments if they don't know
what's going on." The hearings,
which are in the Memorial
Conference Room at 4:15 p.m.,
are open to students, and this is
one way to gain insight on what
is involved in student
government.
The budgets being presented
this week are: Organizational
Grants, Legal Services, Science
Club, Rodeo Team, Music,
Senior-Faculty Banquet,
Orientation, Pow Wow,
Forensics, Drama, Reader's
Theatre, and Art Students
Union.

c—LIBERTY LINES—I
Saving the
World?
WASHINGTON (Liberty Lobby
News Service)—An old saying
goes that "A sword cuts both
ways." Star Trek creators coined
an expression for such a type of
no-win situation.
The UN seems to have made it a
career goal to take from the west
(the U.S. in particular) and give to
the east, and any other undevel-oped
nation with its hand out. Now
it finds itself in the potential posi-tion
of doing so much good for
these backward countries that the
cure may do more harm than the
illness.
To see the world body squirm in
its own incompetence is not new.
but this time its particularly tra-gic.
It's not a question of life or
death: the victim will perish. It's a
matter of how much suffering the
UN can cause beforehand.
Liberty Lobby and The SPOT-LIGHT
have always held that the
U.S. should resign from the UN,
and kick it out of our country. Cer-tainly
the UN has sponsored some
worthwhile programs, to feed
hungry and starving children, for
example.
These are noble causes, but
when the UN is involved, very lit-tle
of the vast amounts collected
actually goes to the hungry kids.
Normally it ends up in the hands of
a third world government whose
tyrannical leaders have better
ways to spend it—such as promot-ing
their own security and enjoy-ment.
Well, the UN has done it again;
specifically, with the United Na-tions
Children's Fund (UNICEF).
According to an official. "We have
in our grasp the means (by a few
simple. low-cost steps) to save the
lives of millions of children, as
many as 20,000 a day."
FRANKLY SPEAKING
Who can argue against saving
kids' lives? Well, here's where the
sword cuts the other way. Because
the situation is not followed
through to its full solution, these
children would actually be sen-tenced
to a more horrible death.
Columnist William Raspberry in
the Washington Post quotes a
skeptic of the program as declar-ing
that the imperiled children are
in:
• Mexico
• Central and South America
• West and East Indies
• Bangladesh
• Much of the Near East and
most of Africa.
In these areas astronomical
birth rates have produced such
enormous child populations that
they can't be fed, educated or em-ployed.
Population doubles about
every 20 years: now the UN wants
to double it every decade, and
double the new child population
every year.
This explosion would occur
without adding to the economy one
bushel of grain. a quart of milk. a
single blanket or roof, teacher,
doctor or one job paying a living
wage.
The skeptic went on to point out
an obvious solution:
"Persuade women that their
value should not be measured by-their
8. 10 or 12 children, and con-vince
men that their status and
manhood need not be counted in
infants sired."

Tuesday, January 25, 1983 -- RETORT 2 editorial
Career Advice for LA Majors
Dear Editor,
A figure compiled by the
College Placement Council
recently should come as a
shock to many of those in the
Liberal Arts program. The
figure is 4%, that what
proportion of all job offers
made to seniors by campus
recruiters that were offered to
seniors in the humanities. The
4% looks rather pathetic when
33% of all the college grads
majored in humanities. Why is
this so?
The problem is in marketing
Texan
Objects
Dear Editor,
Whoever said anything
about "letting accused killers
out on bail" in Texas? That
assumption bears a bit of
review. Preferably before the
paper goes to copy, though I
recognize that may be a tall
order for the Retort. As a
native Houstonian, I can't
condone your slanting a story
where a man draws a gun to
steal anything and receives a
stiff penalty. for it against the
people of Texas. I certainly
hope your readership has
enough intelligence to see the
real issue. A man draws a gun.
He steals. Does it matter how
much? No. Perhaps that notion
is a bit too conservative for the
traditional liberal journalist.
Let's hope that changes.
Nat Adams
Student, U. of Houston
and training, to use business
jargon.
What are liberal arts majors
trained to do by their respective
departments? To some extent
they are taught to analyze
carefully, communicate
reasonably well, dig up answers
and new solutions, and to add
to the world's knowledge or
arts. That's quite a bit and
eminently useful in the real
world, particularly in decision-making
and problem-solving.
However, the majority of these
students are not taught how to
relate the skills and insights
that they are developing to the
real world where they will have
to earn a living. Instead their
programs and classes prepare
them primarily for going on to
graduate school in the same
area. This is what their
professors and curriculum
designers did with their
bachelor's degrees, they
continued on with school.
Unfortunately for this premise,
most of these poor misguided
students will join the real world
after graduation rather than
continue on in the relative
isolation of academia.
Is it responsible for colleges
to take years out of a student's
life and thousands of dollars in
both real and opportunity cost
to prepare this poor sucker for
a grad school that he will not
attend and leave him woefully
unprepared for the working
world which he will most likely
attend for upwards of forty
years? I think the mumbled
replies given to this hard
question reveal the confusion
of the curriculum designers
when faced xvith realities rather
unpleasant to long consider.
And the wrenching discovery
that happens thousands of
times with each new wave of
graduates that their wanted
degree didn't really prepare
them for anything seems
unnecessarily cruel.
Liberal Arts needs to be
altered to fit the realities of the
marketplace. The programs
need to include more, far more
courses on the practical
application of the wondrous
theories and skills they are
learning in the program.
Internships into the real world
are a must, real internships that
are required rather than the
Mickey Mouse ones currently
run by academics who haven't
interned in the real world
enough themselves.
If those in Liberal Arts are
taught to use what they know in
ways that society will reward
them, over half of the battle is
won. The other half is
convincing the marketplace
that the Liberal Arts graduates
are desirable contributors
rather than fuzzy theorists.
This will be a challenging job as
there is so much botched over
so many years in presenting the
liberal arts grads to the
employers. It can be done.
Until it is changed, and it
gradually is changing in the
more practical direction, my
advice to those in Liberal Arts
would be to spend lots of time
in the Placement and
Counseling Offices, don't listen
to the faculty, research possible
fields in the library and try to
acquire the specific skills
they mention often, try to meet
people in related fields and
pump them for information
and contacts, and devote a
great deal of time to prayer and
job-hunting.

Art Department
Update
Most of the people at
Eastern have probably never
considered why they're here,
but that's a question the Non-
Traditional Students Organi-zation
tackled during an
informal meeting at the L.A.
Coffeeshop on January 20.
Dr. Steve Coffman of
EMC's Communication Arts
department chaired the get
together, which dealt with the
question, "What the Hell are
We Doing Here?"
Those at the meeting
discovered that there is no
definitive answer.
Many agreed that they were
attending college to have fun
and learn more about subjects
that interest them. Part of the
fun of college is meeting other
people who share similar
interests. College, they found,
is a good place to meet people
of many different ages and to
realize personal capabilities.
Challenging themselves and
trying to extend their Finally it was added that
knowledge was a drive for
almost all the non-traditional
students in attendance.
Some felt that college was an
outlet for shyness and tension.
By dealing with other students
and faculty, most gain self
assurance about their
decisions. All the non-traditional
students felt their
first week back at school was a
very scary time.
The group sympathized with
the pressure put on students
that go directly from high
school to college. While non-traditional
students make their
own decision to attend, people
just out of high school are
usually in a position where they
have very few options. The
stress involved in getting high
grades affects everyone, but
almost all traditional students
have the added pressure of
someone "looking over their
shoulder."
Artists from various parts of
the United States will have
their works on exhibit in the
New Invitational Art Show. Ed
Gillum (new sculpture faculty
member) has been most helpful
in arrangements for the new
show which will be replacing
his sculpture show in the Fine
Arts Gallery, first floor in the
Liberal Arts building.
Anyone who is interested in
art is welcome to join the Art
Club. Meetings are held at
11:45 on Wednesdays in room
120 of the LA building.
Speakers are being brought in
on a regular basis to cover a
wide variety of interesting
subjects. Films are shown on
Mondays in room 120 of the
LA building. These are open to
anyone at no cost, subjects are
art related, PBS types of films.
The Art Club recently
honored Ben Steele in a
"Welcome Back Coffee Break."
Also, congratulations are in
order for Alan Newberg on his
selection as MAEA "Art
Educator of the Year."

many people go back to school
in order to gain the credentials
needed to get a good job. It
helps to have a college diploma
when trying to find a job. It can
also help to establish people in
today's society.
Jobs involve more than
work. Most of the group agreed
that careers are more than
money, that there should be
some amount of enjoyment in a
career. As Dr. Coffman put it,
"A job is for money, while a
career is the work you choose
to invest your life in."
The group found that some
students don't find careers,
they run into them. Sometimes
a mandatory college course or a
pick-up class can open the
doors for a person's life work.
What the hell are we doing
here? it's sometimes hard to
figure out. But, as Dr. Coffman
added, "It sure beats watching
television."

that he would no longer be able
to work. Hatcher felt that his
working did not affect his R.A.
position, especially since he
would attend many of the EMC
basketball games anyway.
Hatcher went on to explain, "I
have no other outside
activities."
At 12:15 A.M. Wednesday
morning some of the R.A.s met
to discuss the problem.
Although Crisp knew about the
meeting she did not attend it.
Meanwhile the men on
Hatcher's floor, 5th floor Petro
Hall, circulated a petition
started by student Blake
Lowthian to keep Hatcher as
an R.A Most of the men of the
floor signed it.
Wednesday morning
Hatcher submitted his
resignation in writing. He said,
"I resigned in the interest of my
fellow R.A.s." He thought that
"it would be best." Crisp
accepted his resignation.
TYPING TYPING TYPING TYPING TYPING

Wednesday morning at a
meeting, Hatcher and Crisp
met together and he confirmed
his intention to continue
working and confirmed his
resignation as an R.A.
According to Hatcher, Crisp
said that it was best that he
leave because of the damage he '
inflicted.
Todd Wagner, Hatcher's
partner on 5th floor said,
"Kerry does his job very
well...as far as being up on the
floor and stuff like that."
Wagner stated that he did not
attend the 12:15 a.m. R.A.
meeting on Wednesday
morning either. Another Petro
Hall R.A., who requested that
his name be withheld, said, "I
think he (Hatcher) was a really
good R.A...a lot of things led
up to it (Hathcer's resignation).
I think like, well, he's getting
married and he was working on
another job and this job was
interfering with some stuff."
When asked if it was interfering
with his job on the floor he
replied, "I think his
performance up there was
pretty good still. But he just
didn't have the time to do what
he wanted to do." When asked
if there was a lot of friction
between Hatcher and Crisp, he
explained, "In the last two
weeks there was." The R.A.
further stated, "I'm not exactly
sure, exactly what caused the
problem, friction or (what)."
Emotions of the men on 5th
floor are running high. No one
questioned on his floor had
anything but praise and respect
for Hatcher. "He's a good
R.A...everybody likes him,"
stated John McDowell. "He's
the best friend up here for most
guys...best R.A. any floor
could have or ever want,"
according to Tim Brownlee.
Blake Piper stated, "He cared
about us, and we cared about
him." Several new residents
expressed appreciation of how
Hatcher helped them move in
and get acquainted.
In spite of Crisp's claim that
Hatcher was not forced to
resign, many students on 5th
floor are upset that the will of
the students was not heeded.
Blake Lowthian claimed,
"They didn't ask us!" Another
student who asked not to be
identified expressed his
feelings, "I feel that Kerry was
very rudely kicked out of
Residence Life as an R.A...She
(Crisp) got position-hungry
and had some resentments
toward Kerry. Then she had the
authority to do something
about it."

SOUND CORNER
Get Excited About Get Nervous!
THE WEEK
Tuesday, January 25, 1983 -- RETORT 6
Harold Luce
Pat Benatar is back on vinyl
again with her new album "Get
Nervous" (Chrysalis Records,
Inc.).
Musician magazine makes
the comment, "Get Serious".
Whether or not it's sarcasm can
be left up to the reader's
imagination. Musician also
says that "the lyrics aren't as
first person as you'd expect,"
when referring to her singing
"The Victim." One could also
say the same thing on some of
the other tunes such as "I'll Do
It," "Tell It To Her," and more.
Benatar studied opera before
making it big in rock. Her vocal
quality shows it with more
clarity.
In her hit single, "Shadows of
the Night", there is a nice
blending of voices overdubbed
in a masterful fashion. The
songs that feature her trained
voice are "Fight It Out," "Tell It
To Her" and especially "Silent
Partner." She still puts out a lot
of vocal harshness though,
especially in the songs, "I Want
Out" and again "Fight It Out"
and "The Victim." For the most
part she just rasps out her tone
and clears it up again.
If one were to talk about
style and/ or form in which
the music is presented, it would
be generally "straight ahead
rock-n-roll" having new wave
overtones. The song "Anxiety
("Get Nervous" would tend to
lead one to believe it were the
Missing-Person's Group. Pat
sounds quite a bit like the lead
singer to Missing Person's.
Guitarist Neil Geraldo does
some nice guitar work
throughout the entire
recording. His obscure
melodies create an interesting
effect. One would have to hear
to believe it.
The album is to be highly
recommended to any rock-n-roller's
album collection.
Benatar's vocal finesse is
continuing to give her a name
in the rock-n-roll world
contrary to bad reviews given
to her by half-baked critics.
Members of the band include
Neil Geraldo on guitar
accompanied by Charlie
Giordano on keyboards.
Backing them up is Roger Caps
on bass playing next to Myroni
Grombacher at the drums. The
album is produced by Neil
Geraldo and Peter Coleman.
Gary Anderson
A couple of robberies in
France caused some thieves to
walk away $4.5 million more
comfortable a week ago last
Friday. They eluded hundreds
of French policemen and
officials continue to sift for
clues. Early Saturday morning,
reports from Washington,
D.C. interested French
lawmen. It seems some tickets
being scalped for the
Washington Redskins and
Dallas Cowboys football game
were going for $800 apiece, 50
yard line, and unobstructed
view of the cheerleaders. Well,
a few gentlemen apparently
bought the tickets without
wiping a brow. The only words
the scalper said the buyers
Nick Campbell
Maybe music did die long
ago.
The quality of current hits
relies mainly on the approval of
the early-teen audience, thus
radio stations bombard the
public with talentless,
unappealing music. And to top
it off, each song is played a total
of fifty times a day.
With this in mind, here is a
cut-up of last week's
undeserving top-ten.
10. "Heartbreaker" - Dionne
Warwick. This song sounds too
much like a Bee Gees tune to be
a hit. Dionne looks like an elk,
which is neither good nor bad.
"Ear-drum-breaker" could
easily be a subtitle for this
trash.
9. "Rock the Casbah" - The
Clash. The Clash has no
redeeming qualities in any of
their screaming melodies. Their
lead is probably the worst
singer in the world.
8. "Baby, Come To Me" -
spoke were, "Oui! J'adore
Redskins!!"
This report comes from the
National Weather Service. An
unidentified cloud apparently
crept its way over the Rimrocks
in Billings, Montana disturbing
their January Spring. Because
it was such a rare phenomena
for this time of year, the cloud
was quickly wrestled to the
ground by officers. During the
drive to the station for
questioning, the cloud escaped
the grip of police. They chased
it southwest of Billings and the
cloud ditched its pursuers by
ducking into some smoke from
the Laurel refinery. Further
attempts to locate the crazed
cloud ceased with police
Patti Austin. Every song of this
type has the word baby in it.
Baby! Baby! Baby! About all
this song is good for is to put
your baby to sleep.
7. "Africa" - Toto. Toto has
never released a decent single.
This single redeems some of
their past mistakes, but is not
good enough for the top ten;
maybe the top 500.
6. "Mickey" - Toni Basil.
Getting tired of hearing this
cheerleader yell? Get ready for
more because here are the titles
for her next ten songs: "Dicky, "
"Nicky,", "Ricky,"...
5. "Sexual Healing"- Marvin
Gaye. Nice title but again the
word baby throughout the
lyrics. Singers must rob the
cradle a lot.
4. "Maneater" - Hall and
Oates. Their last three songs
sound pretty much the same.
The only thing redeeming this
song is the fact that when you
play it backwards, there is
complete silence.
Larry Croft
After a year of perfecting the
makeup, Dustin Hoffman was
finally ready to take on his
most challenging role — that of
a woman! "Tootsie," now
playing to sold-out crowds at
World West Theaters, is the
tale of a fledging actor who, in
desperation, auditions for a
role on a soap opera as a
woman. Hoffman's character is
not just another transvestite,
but that of a convincing female
through his brilliant acting and
the detailed finesse of makeup
artist Allen Weisinger. Ninety
minutes was spent each day
beginning with a facelift to
achieve the product, soap star
Dorothy Michaels. A four-pound
silicone bosom, shrunk
pores, and shaved hands
contribute to the believeability
of Ms. Michaels (also known as
reporting that "it had learned a
lesson."
Homecoming has arrived at
EMC and activity is at an all
time rush. If you get caught
studying homework this week,
respect for you could dive like
the ratings of TV's "Dukes of
Hazzard." Just a minute,
Homecoming? Means coming
home, right? the local team
encourages former students to
come back to school and
witness the current basketball
team in action. Will EMC
alumni recognize their home
when they return this year? I
don't know. We'll see when
they ask Metra officials where
to sit.
3. "Dirty Laundry" - Don
Henley. Don Henley should
have stayed with the Eagles.
Then only one crappy single
would be produced instead of
the four or five we'll get from
the other members of this
defunct group.
2. "The Girl is Mine" -
Michael Jackson-Paul
McCartney. What stupid lyrics
and melodies these two jerks
came up with. If I hear, "The
Dog is Mine" once more, I'll
puke.
1. "Down Under" - Men at
Work. This song is above the
rest. New sounds is the only
reason it's number one. 1 hope
they never again reach the top
ten with another single. It
would sound exactly the same
and I'm already sick of hearing
this one five times every hour.
If you disagree with me, take
five dollars and your comment,
put it in an envelope, and drop
it off in my box at the Retort.
Tootsie), who becomes one of
the most popular actresses on
the soaps because of her
independentness. As the plot
thickens, so do the laughs. The
girlfriend (Teri Garr) thinks
Michael/ Dorothy must be gay
after finding pantyhose in the
apartment he shares with his
roommate (Bill Murray).
However, Michael/ Dorothy
falls for a co-star (Jessica
Lange) who begins to wonder if
her new friend is a lesbian. But
the co-star's widowed father
soon falls for Dorothy, and
eventually asks to marry her
(him?). Will they be married?
Will Michael remain a woman
forever? Or will the truth come
out? Find out the results by
seeing this hilarious Oscar
potential, directed and co-produced
by Sydney Pollack,
who also plays Tootsie's agent.

Jackie Flett hit three free
throws in the last 16 seconds of
the game to lift Eastern
Montana past Montana State
58-54 in women's basketball
last Wednesday.
Eastern took a 21-18
halftime lead and then
outscored the Bobcats 37-36
in the second half with 15 of
those points coming from the
foul line. EMC finished 18-22
from the line for an 82 percent.
Although MSU out-rebounded
Eastern 49-31, the
Yellowjackets were able to get
the key rebounds to keep
control of the contest
according to EMC coach Ted
Anderson.
Theresa O'Donnell was the
leading scorer for Eastern with
18 points and 10 rebounds.
The night before their
victory in Bozeman, the
Yellowjackets dropped a 64-61
game to St. Mary's College.
EMC had a 30-23 lead at the
half, but gave up 41 in the
second half to lose to the
Mauraders by three.
Eastern started off fast with
some key outside shots and
then held the lead until the 7:55
mark in the last half. St. Mary's
then started to take the ball
inside and picked up some
crucial defensive rebounds for
the victory.
O'Donnell was also the top
point getter in this game with
16 points followed by Lori
Fries with 12.
The Lady Yellowjackets next
games are on Wednesday
against Western Montana
College and on Thursday at the
Metra against the University of
Alaska-Fairbanks.

Disorder Reigns in
Residence Life
R.A. Resigns Over Conflict
David P. Perkins
A situation arose on fifth
floor Petro Hall which has the
men of the floor concerned. It
involved the Director of
Student Resident Programs
and a Resident Assistant
(R.A.) from fifth floor. The
situation resulted in an R.A.'s
resignation.
A controversy involving
Mrs. Tammy Crisp, Director of
Student Resident programs as
of January 17, and Mr. Kerry
Hatcher, an R.A. in Petro Hall
resulted in Hatcher's
resignation on Wednesday
morning, January 19. Crisp
said that Hatcher resigned
under no pressure and that it
was his decision. Hatcher
claimed that he was given an
alternative as remaining as an
R.A. or working solely on his
other jobs. He was in his second
year as an R.A. at EMC. He
also was an R.A. at MSU for
one year.
The controversy, according
to Hatcher, centered around
his working at the EMC
basketball games without
permission. The R.A. contract
forbids an R.A. to work a
second job without permission.
Hatcher also works as a high
school basketball official
about four hours a week with
permission from Resident Life.
At the time that Mr. James
Eckenroad, the former
Director of Resident Life,
changed positions, he was not
aware of any problems with
Hatcher. Hatcher said Crisp
discussed the violation with
him during the week of January
10-14, but decided to grant him
permission to continue
working. Hatcher was not the
only R.A. working for the
athletic department without
permission; Mr. Todd Wagner,
who works at the EMC
women's games about two
hours per game, said that he
"did not have permission" to
work either. Some R.A.s work
at other jobs with permission.
In a discussion on Tuesday,
Hatcher claims that Crisp told
him his "attitude was poor" and

83-84 Budgeting Procedure Begins
Tracie Blakeslee
It's that time of year again.
Next year's budgets for student
groups are presently being
reviewed by the Senate Ways
and Means Committee.
The ASEMC Student Senate
has the responsibility to dole
out $205,000 between the 18
groups that submitted budget
requests. Sound easy? Not in
the least, because those 18
groups have requested a total
of $270,000-$65,000 too
much. So, somewhere, the
budgets have to be trimmed.
The $205,000 comes from
student activity fees paid at
registration. In order to be
eligible to receive a portion of
these funds, a group has to be
registered with the Dean of
Students and chartered with
Student Senate.
A budget goes through
several reviews before it is laid
before Senate the final time.
The budget is submitted, read
in Senate and referred to the
Ways and Means Committee to
"iron out kinks." They are
considered in the order they are
submitted. This year, the fund
controllers of each budget have
two meetings with the
Committee. The first is a 15
minute preliminary hearing to
present the budget. The
committee then gets together
and makes its preliminary
recommendations. The second
meeting helps the fund
controller of each group to
accept necessary cuts in their
budget. The Committee gets
together again and prepares its
final recommendation, which is
presented to Senate. The Ways
and Means Committee hopes
to have all of their
recommendations completed
by the end of Winter Quarter
because the budgets have to be
finished and passed through
Senate by the fourth week of
Spring Quarter.
Last week started the
preliminary hearings, which
will continue Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week.
ASEMC Business Manager,
Gary Barber, expressed the
opinion that, "senators,
especially, should attend the
meetings because, how are they
going to be qualified to make
judgments if they don't know
what's going on." The hearings,
which are in the Memorial
Conference Room at 4:15 p.m.,
are open to students, and this is
one way to gain insight on what
is involved in student
government.
The budgets being presented
this week are: Organizational
Grants, Legal Services, Science
Club, Rodeo Team, Music,
Senior-Faculty Banquet,
Orientation, Pow Wow,
Forensics, Drama, Reader's
Theatre, and Art Students
Union.

c—LIBERTY LINES—I
Saving the
World?
WASHINGTON (Liberty Lobby
News Service)—An old saying
goes that "A sword cuts both
ways." Star Trek creators coined
an expression for such a type of
no-win situation.
The UN seems to have made it a
career goal to take from the west
(the U.S. in particular) and give to
the east, and any other undevel-oped
nation with its hand out. Now
it finds itself in the potential posi-tion
of doing so much good for
these backward countries that the
cure may do more harm than the
illness.
To see the world body squirm in
its own incompetence is not new.
but this time its particularly tra-gic.
It's not a question of life or
death: the victim will perish. It's a
matter of how much suffering the
UN can cause beforehand.
Liberty Lobby and The SPOT-LIGHT
have always held that the
U.S. should resign from the UN,
and kick it out of our country. Cer-tainly
the UN has sponsored some
worthwhile programs, to feed
hungry and starving children, for
example.
These are noble causes, but
when the UN is involved, very lit-tle
of the vast amounts collected
actually goes to the hungry kids.
Normally it ends up in the hands of
a third world government whose
tyrannical leaders have better
ways to spend it—such as promot-ing
their own security and enjoy-ment.
Well, the UN has done it again;
specifically, with the United Na-tions
Children's Fund (UNICEF).
According to an official. "We have
in our grasp the means (by a few
simple. low-cost steps) to save the
lives of millions of children, as
many as 20,000 a day."
FRANKLY SPEAKING
Who can argue against saving
kids' lives? Well, here's where the
sword cuts the other way. Because
the situation is not followed
through to its full solution, these
children would actually be sen-tenced
to a more horrible death.
Columnist William Raspberry in
the Washington Post quotes a
skeptic of the program as declar-ing
that the imperiled children are
in:
• Mexico
• Central and South America
• West and East Indies
• Bangladesh
• Much of the Near East and
most of Africa.
In these areas astronomical
birth rates have produced such
enormous child populations that
they can't be fed, educated or em-ployed.
Population doubles about
every 20 years: now the UN wants
to double it every decade, and
double the new child population
every year.
This explosion would occur
without adding to the economy one
bushel of grain. a quart of milk. a
single blanket or roof, teacher,
doctor or one job paying a living
wage.
The skeptic went on to point out
an obvious solution:
"Persuade women that their
value should not be measured by-their
8. 10 or 12 children, and con-vince
men that their status and
manhood need not be counted in
infants sired."

Career Advice for LA Majors
Dear Editor,
A figure compiled by the
College Placement Council
recently should come as a
shock to many of those in the
Liberal Arts program. The
figure is 4%, that what
proportion of all job offers
made to seniors by campus
recruiters that were offered to
seniors in the humanities. The
4% looks rather pathetic when
33% of all the college grads
majored in humanities. Why is
this so?
The problem is in marketing
Texan
Objects
Dear Editor,
Whoever said anything
about "letting accused killers
out on bail" in Texas? That
assumption bears a bit of
review. Preferably before the
paper goes to copy, though I
recognize that may be a tall
order for the Retort. As a
native Houstonian, I can't
condone your slanting a story
where a man draws a gun to
steal anything and receives a
stiff penalty. for it against the
people of Texas. I certainly
hope your readership has
enough intelligence to see the
real issue. A man draws a gun.
He steals. Does it matter how
much? No. Perhaps that notion
is a bit too conservative for the
traditional liberal journalist.
Let's hope that changes.
Nat Adams
Student, U. of Houston
and training, to use business
jargon.
What are liberal arts majors
trained to do by their respective
departments? To some extent
they are taught to analyze
carefully, communicate
reasonably well, dig up answers
and new solutions, and to add
to the world's knowledge or
arts. That's quite a bit and
eminently useful in the real
world, particularly in decision-making
and problem-solving.
However, the majority of these
students are not taught how to
relate the skills and insights
that they are developing to the
real world where they will have
to earn a living. Instead their
programs and classes prepare
them primarily for going on to
graduate school in the same
area. This is what their
professors and curriculum
designers did with their
bachelor's degrees, they
continued on with school.
Unfortunately for this premise,
most of these poor misguided
students will join the real world
after graduation rather than
continue on in the relative
isolation of academia.
Is it responsible for colleges
to take years out of a student's
life and thousands of dollars in
both real and opportunity cost
to prepare this poor sucker for
a grad school that he will not
attend and leave him woefully
unprepared for the working
world which he will most likely
attend for upwards of forty
years? I think the mumbled
replies given to this hard
question reveal the confusion
of the curriculum designers
when faced xvith realities rather
unpleasant to long consider.
And the wrenching discovery
that happens thousands of
times with each new wave of
graduates that their wanted
degree didn't really prepare
them for anything seems
unnecessarily cruel.
Liberal Arts needs to be
altered to fit the realities of the
marketplace. The programs
need to include more, far more
courses on the practical
application of the wondrous
theories and skills they are
learning in the program.
Internships into the real world
are a must, real internships that
are required rather than the
Mickey Mouse ones currently
run by academics who haven't
interned in the real world
enough themselves.
If those in Liberal Arts are
taught to use what they know in
ways that society will reward
them, over half of the battle is
won. The other half is
convincing the marketplace
that the Liberal Arts graduates
are desirable contributors
rather than fuzzy theorists.
This will be a challenging job as
there is so much botched over
so many years in presenting the
liberal arts grads to the
employers. It can be done.
Until it is changed, and it
gradually is changing in the
more practical direction, my
advice to those in Liberal Arts
would be to spend lots of time
in the Placement and
Counseling Offices, don't listen
to the faculty, research possible
fields in the library and try to
acquire the specific skills
they mention often, try to meet
people in related fields and
pump them for information
and contacts, and devote a
great deal of time to prayer and
job-hunting.

Update
Most of the people at
Eastern have probably never
considered why they're here,
but that's a question the Non-
Traditional Students Organi-zation
tackled during an
informal meeting at the L.A.
Coffeeshop on January 20.
Dr. Steve Coffman of
EMC's Communication Arts
department chaired the get
together, which dealt with the
question, "What the Hell are
We Doing Here?"
Those at the meeting
discovered that there is no
definitive answer.
Many agreed that they were
attending college to have fun
and learn more about subjects
that interest them. Part of the
fun of college is meeting other
people who share similar
interests. College, they found,
is a good place to meet people
of many different ages and to
realize personal capabilities.
Challenging themselves and
trying to extend their Finally it was added that
knowledge was a drive for
almost all the non-traditional
students in attendance.
Some felt that college was an
outlet for shyness and tension.
By dealing with other students
and faculty, most gain self
assurance about their
decisions. All the non-traditional
students felt their
first week back at school was a
very scary time.
The group sympathized with
the pressure put on students
that go directly from high
school to college. While non-traditional
students make their
own decision to attend, people
just out of high school are
usually in a position where they
have very few options. The
stress involved in getting high
grades affects everyone, but
almost all traditional students
have the added pressure of
someone "looking over their
shoulder."
Artists from various parts of
the United States will have
their works on exhibit in the
New Invitational Art Show. Ed
Gillum (new sculpture faculty
member) has been most helpful
in arrangements for the new
show which will be replacing
his sculpture show in the Fine
Arts Gallery, first floor in the
Liberal Arts building.
Anyone who is interested in
art is welcome to join the Art
Club. Meetings are held at
11:45 on Wednesdays in room
120 of the LA building.
Speakers are being brought in
on a regular basis to cover a
wide variety of interesting
subjects. Films are shown on
Mondays in room 120 of the
LA building. These are open to
anyone at no cost, subjects are
art related, PBS types of films.
The Art Club recently
honored Ben Steele in a
"Welcome Back Coffee Break."
Also, congratulations are in
order for Alan Newberg on his
selection as MAEA "Art
Educator of the Year."

many people go back to school
in order to gain the credentials
needed to get a good job. It
helps to have a college diploma
when trying to find a job. It can
also help to establish people in
today's society.
Jobs involve more than
work. Most of the group agreed
that careers are more than
money, that there should be
some amount of enjoyment in a
career. As Dr. Coffman put it,
"A job is for money, while a
career is the work you choose
to invest your life in."
The group found that some
students don't find careers,
they run into them. Sometimes
a mandatory college course or a
pick-up class can open the
doors for a person's life work.
What the hell are we doing
here? it's sometimes hard to
figure out. But, as Dr. Coffman
added, "It sure beats watching
television."

that he would no longer be able
to work. Hatcher felt that his
working did not affect his R.A.
position, especially since he
would attend many of the EMC
basketball games anyway.
Hatcher went on to explain, "I
have no other outside
activities."
At 12:15 A.M. Wednesday
morning some of the R.A.s met
to discuss the problem.
Although Crisp knew about the
meeting she did not attend it.
Meanwhile the men on
Hatcher's floor, 5th floor Petro
Hall, circulated a petition
started by student Blake
Lowthian to keep Hatcher as
an R.A Most of the men of the
floor signed it.
Wednesday morning
Hatcher submitted his
resignation in writing. He said,
"I resigned in the interest of my
fellow R.A.s." He thought that
"it would be best." Crisp
accepted his resignation.

Wednesday morning at a
meeting, Hatcher and Crisp
met together and he confirmed
his intention to continue
working and confirmed his
resignation as an R.A.
According to Hatcher, Crisp
said that it was best that he
leave because of the damage he '
inflicted.
Todd Wagner, Hatcher's
partner on 5th floor said,
"Kerry does his job very
well...as far as being up on the
floor and stuff like that."
Wagner stated that he did not
attend the 12:15 a.m. R.A.
meeting on Wednesday
morning either. Another Petro
Hall R.A., who requested that
his name be withheld, said, "I
think he (Hatcher) was a really
good R.A...a lot of things led
up to it (Hathcer's resignation).
I think like, well, he's getting
married and he was working on
another job and this job was
interfering with some stuff."
When asked if it was interfering
with his job on the floor he
replied, "I think his
performance up there was
pretty good still. But he just
didn't have the time to do what
he wanted to do." When asked
if there was a lot of friction
between Hatcher and Crisp, he
explained, "In the last two
weeks there was." The R.A.
further stated, "I'm not exactly
sure, exactly what caused the
problem, friction or (what)."
Emotions of the men on 5th
floor are running high. No one
questioned on his floor had
anything but praise and respect
for Hatcher. "He's a good
R.A...everybody likes him"
stated John McDowell. "He's
the best friend up here for most
guys...best R.A. any floor
could have or ever want"
according to Tim Brownlee.
Blake Piper stated, "He cared
about us, and we cared about
him." Several new residents
expressed appreciation of how
Hatcher helped them move in
and get acquainted.
In spite of Crisp's claim that
Hatcher was not forced to
resign, many students on 5th
floor are upset that the will of
the students was not heeded.
Blake Lowthian claimed,
"They didn't ask us!" Another
student who asked not to be
identified expressed his
feelings, "I feel that Kerry was
very rudely kicked out of
Residence Life as an R.A...She
(Crisp) got position-hungry
and had some resentments
toward Kerry. Then she had the
authority to do something
about it."

SOUND CORNER
Get Excited About Get Nervous!
THE WEEK
Tuesday, January 25, 1983 -- RETORT 6
Harold Luce
Pat Benatar is back on vinyl
again with her new album "Get
Nervous" (Chrysalis Records,
Inc.).
Musician magazine makes
the comment, "Get Serious".
Whether or not it's sarcasm can
be left up to the reader's
imagination. Musician also
says that "the lyrics aren't as
first person as you'd expect"
when referring to her singing
"The Victim." One could also
say the same thing on some of
the other tunes such as "I'll Do
It" "Tell It To Her" and more.
Benatar studied opera before
making it big in rock. Her vocal
quality shows it with more
clarity.
In her hit single, "Shadows of
the Night", there is a nice
blending of voices overdubbed
in a masterful fashion. The
songs that feature her trained
voice are "Fight It Out" "Tell It
To Her" and especially "Silent
Partner." She still puts out a lot
of vocal harshness though,
especially in the songs, "I Want
Out" and again "Fight It Out"
and "The Victim." For the most
part she just rasps out her tone
and clears it up again.
If one were to talk about
style and/ or form in which
the music is presented, it would
be generally "straight ahead
rock-n-roll" having new wave
overtones. The song "Anxiety
("Get Nervous" would tend to
lead one to believe it were the
Missing-Person's Group. Pat
sounds quite a bit like the lead
singer to Missing Person's.
Guitarist Neil Geraldo does
some nice guitar work
throughout the entire
recording. His obscure
melodies create an interesting
effect. One would have to hear
to believe it.
The album is to be highly
recommended to any rock-n-roller's
album collection.
Benatar's vocal finesse is
continuing to give her a name
in the rock-n-roll world
contrary to bad reviews given
to her by half-baked critics.
Members of the band include
Neil Geraldo on guitar
accompanied by Charlie
Giordano on keyboards.
Backing them up is Roger Caps
on bass playing next to Myroni
Grombacher at the drums. The
album is produced by Neil
Geraldo and Peter Coleman.
Gary Anderson
A couple of robberies in
France caused some thieves to
walk away $4.5 million more
comfortable a week ago last
Friday. They eluded hundreds
of French policemen and
officials continue to sift for
clues. Early Saturday morning,
reports from Washington,
D.C. interested French
lawmen. It seems some tickets
being scalped for the
Washington Redskins and
Dallas Cowboys football game
were going for $800 apiece, 50
yard line, and unobstructed
view of the cheerleaders. Well,
a few gentlemen apparently
bought the tickets without
wiping a brow. The only words
the scalper said the buyers
Nick Campbell
Maybe music did die long
ago.
The quality of current hits
relies mainly on the approval of
the early-teen audience, thus
radio stations bombard the
public with talentless,
unappealing music. And to top
it off, each song is played a total
of fifty times a day.
With this in mind, here is a
cut-up of last week's
undeserving top-ten.
10. "Heartbreaker" - Dionne
Warwick. This song sounds too
much like a Bee Gees tune to be
a hit. Dionne looks like an elk,
which is neither good nor bad.
"Ear-drum-breaker" could
easily be a subtitle for this
trash.
9. "Rock the Casbah" - The
Clash. The Clash has no
redeeming qualities in any of
their screaming melodies. Their
lead is probably the worst
singer in the world.
8. "Baby, Come To Me" -
spoke were, "Oui! J'adore
Redskins!!"
This report comes from the
National Weather Service. An
unidentified cloud apparently
crept its way over the Rimrocks
in Billings, Montana disturbing
their January Spring. Because
it was such a rare phenomena
for this time of year, the cloud
was quickly wrestled to the
ground by officers. During the
drive to the station for
questioning, the cloud escaped
the grip of police. They chased
it southwest of Billings and the
cloud ditched its pursuers by
ducking into some smoke from
the Laurel refinery. Further
attempts to locate the crazed
cloud ceased with police
Patti Austin. Every song of this
type has the word baby in it.
Baby! Baby! Baby! About all
this song is good for is to put
your baby to sleep.
7. "Africa" - Toto. Toto has
never released a decent single.
This single redeems some of
their past mistakes, but is not
good enough for the top ten;
maybe the top 500.
6. "Mickey" - Toni Basil.
Getting tired of hearing this
cheerleader yell? Get ready for
more because here are the titles
for her next ten songs: "Dicky, "
"Nicky", "Ricky"...
5. "Sexual Healing"- Marvin
Gaye. Nice title but again the
word baby throughout the
lyrics. Singers must rob the
cradle a lot.
4. "Maneater" - Hall and
Oates. Their last three songs
sound pretty much the same.
The only thing redeeming this
song is the fact that when you
play it backwards, there is
complete silence.
Larry Croft
After a year of perfecting the
makeup, Dustin Hoffman was
finally ready to take on his
most challenging role — that of
a woman! "Tootsie" now
playing to sold-out crowds at
World West Theaters, is the
tale of a fledging actor who, in
desperation, auditions for a
role on a soap opera as a
woman. Hoffman's character is
not just another transvestite,
but that of a convincing female
through his brilliant acting and
the detailed finesse of makeup
artist Allen Weisinger. Ninety
minutes was spent each day
beginning with a facelift to
achieve the product, soap star
Dorothy Michaels. A four-pound
silicone bosom, shrunk
pores, and shaved hands
contribute to the believeability
of Ms. Michaels (also known as
reporting that "it had learned a
lesson."
Homecoming has arrived at
EMC and activity is at an all
time rush. If you get caught
studying homework this week,
respect for you could dive like
the ratings of TV's "Dukes of
Hazzard." Just a minute,
Homecoming? Means coming
home, right? the local team
encourages former students to
come back to school and
witness the current basketball
team in action. Will EMC
alumni recognize their home
when they return this year? I
don't know. We'll see when
they ask Metra officials where
to sit.
3. "Dirty Laundry" - Don
Henley. Don Henley should
have stayed with the Eagles.
Then only one crappy single
would be produced instead of
the four or five we'll get from
the other members of this
defunct group.
2. "The Girl is Mine" -
Michael Jackson-Paul
McCartney. What stupid lyrics
and melodies these two jerks
came up with. If I hear, "The
Dog is Mine" once more, I'll
puke.
1. "Down Under" - Men at
Work. This song is above the
rest. New sounds is the only
reason it's number one. 1 hope
they never again reach the top
ten with another single. It
would sound exactly the same
and I'm already sick of hearing
this one five times every hour.
If you disagree with me, take
five dollars and your comment,
put it in an envelope, and drop
it off in my box at the Retort.
Tootsie), who becomes one of
the most popular actresses on
the soaps because of her
independentness. As the plot
thickens, so do the laughs. The
girlfriend (Teri Garr) thinks
Michael/ Dorothy must be gay
after finding pantyhose in the
apartment he shares with his
roommate (Bill Murray).
However, Michael/ Dorothy
falls for a co-star (Jessica
Lange) who begins to wonder if
her new friend is a lesbian. But
the co-star's widowed father
soon falls for Dorothy, and
eventually asks to marry her
(him?). Will they be married?
Will Michael remain a woman
forever? Or will the truth come
out? Find out the results by
seeing this hilarious Oscar
potential, directed and co-produced
by Sydney Pollack,
who also plays Tootsie's agent.

ready.

Jackie Flett hit three free
throws in the last 16 seconds of
the game to lift Eastern
Montana past Montana State
58-54 in women's basketball
last Wednesday.
Eastern took a 21-18
halftime lead and then
outscored the Bobcats 37-36
in the second half with 15 of
those points coming from the
foul line. EMC finished 18-22
from the line for an 82 percent.
Although MSU out-rebounded
Eastern 49-31, the
Yellowjackets were able to get
the key rebounds to keep
control of the contest
according to EMC coach Ted
Anderson.
Theresa O'Donnell was the
leading scorer for Eastern with
18 points and 10 rebounds.
The night before their
victory in Bozeman, the
Yellowjackets dropped a 64-61
game to St. Mary's College.
EMC had a 30-23 lead at the
half, but gave up 41 in the
second half to lose to the
Mauraders by three.
Eastern started off fast with
some key outside shots and
then held the lead until the 7:55
mark in the last half. St. Mary's
then started to take the ball
inside and picked up some
crucial defensive rebounds for
the victory.
O'Donnell was also the top
point getter in this game with
16 points followed by Lori
Fries with 12.
The Lady Yellowjackets next
games are on Wednesday
against Western Montana
College and on Thursday at the
Metra against the University of
Alaska-Fairbanks.

conference play and 9-8 overall
